There are so many trails in Seoraksan depends on where you want to hike. However, I would like to introduce you those typical trails which most people has taken. Most of trails are good for one day hiking from Seoul. Yes, it is possible if only when you drive. If you take a bus or train from Seoul, then it is not possible. Then how? Here's the tip. Start from Seoul at least 3 AM in the morning and get Sokcho by 6 AM. After watching sunrise on the sea shore and go to the Seoraksan national park. Then hike and back to Seoul. Easy.
